Not Your Typical Tourist

A Life Between Two Countries, And All In Between

Thailand

ZH’s first solo vacation in Thailand: Day 12 of 12

All holidays must come to an end. As ZH bids farewell to Bangkok, she walked away with chock-full of memories.

She woke up at 7.30am, still in a daze as she slept late the night before.

Day Twelve: Bye bye Bangkok, Selamat Pulang (Welcome home Kuala Lumpur)

We had about three hours at home. Whilst eating her breakfast, she viewed her travel photos on TV via Apple TV. She still managed to use the bathtub, packed her bag, and tried playing Uncle Vich’s game, before we leave to the airport.

 

Pack, pack, pack

And she also had a fun-filled pillow fight with Uncle Vich too.


Her last words at Uncle Vich’s condo: “bye bye Uncle Vich’s house, bye bye big bathtub.”

 

Her last masterpiece: ‘a smile in a smile’

Uncle Vich sent us to the airport, bye bye Uncle Vich.


In the plane, it was the one and only time that ZH played games using my Apple devices. Yiyi is very, very impressed.

 

Good kiddo, the one and only time she played games throughout the trip

Bye bye Bangkok. Bye bye Thailand.

Hello Kuala Lumpur. Hello Malaysia.

 

Bye bye Bangkok

 

Hello KL

Continuing from Day Eleven, I reflect on the day and take time to marvel at the wonders of ZH:

  • She only spent 35% of her pocket money
  • She stayed clear of games on my Apple devices throughout her trip. I offered her my iPad to play on board, after she finished the two books she brought along
  • She is sooo creative and expressive .. capture many different expressions of her. Can’t wait to start on a travel photobook for her

Thank you ZH for the wonderfulicious memories.

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
